  • Patent number: 4977479
    Abstract: A plurality of stainless steel wire sprays along the wall of the drum of the clothes dryer. Preferably, the sprays would be positioned along a straight line of the wall, and would be covered with a perforated plastic guard, so that the clothes tumbling within the drum of the clothes dryer do not make contact with the stainless steels sprays. So that the charged electrons may make contact with the stainless steel sprays and become neutralized, the guard would be equipped with a plurality of ports, to allow the flow of charges between the charged close and the stainless steel sprays. In the preferred embodiment, there would preferably be located one or more equally spaced apart rows of sprays covered with a guard, so that the entire drum would be adequately supplied with the static eliminating means.
